Abstract

In the era of globalization and the ease of technology, this is good, but also worrying. Bringing local and international markets closer together, but also creating traditional barriers that can be biased by global market demands. So, what is the relationship between City branding and Intellectual Property Law, and legal protection for City branding and Jepara Carved Furniture products? It is hoped that this study can answer the importance of city branding in strengthening the image of a city in global market competition and the protection of intellectual property for superior products of a region with geographical indications. The method used in this study is qualitative research with a legal approach, with literature studies. City branding built by the city of Jepara has a positive impact on the introduction of its superior products, namely Jepara Carved Furniture Products, which have also been registered in Geographical Indications. This creates added value for consumers for the image and quality of products that must be met by Craftsmen. Although city branding does not yet have clear rules for Intellectual Property, the existence of Geographical Indications is still able to provide intellectual property protection for these communal products in Indonesia. Although the author hopes that there will be at least clear rules regarding Jepara city branding, like several other cities that already have their city branding logos with legal regulations in their regions. As well as the need for protection of geographical indications in the international world for international trade.

Abstract

The phenomenon of inter-gang brawls among teenagers, particularly those involving children in Indonesia, has become a complex and serious social issue. This research provides an in-depth criminological analysis of the prevalence of these brawls, focusing on the digital era's role in shaping and accelerating the dynamics of this deviant behavior. The study identifies both internal and external causal factors. Internally, involved adolescents often experience an identity crisis, possess weak self-control, and struggle with environmental adjustment. Their inability to manage emotions and seek positive recognition pushes them to find outlets in deviant groups. Externally, unfavorable family environments and the influence of deviant peer groups are significant contributing factors. What distinguishes this modern phenomenon is the catalytic role of digital technology, especially social media. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have become primary arenas for provocation, challenges, and coordination of brawls, even enabling live broadcasts that can influence other adolescents to participate. The lack of parental supervision over children's social media use exacerbates these negative impacts. To address this, a comprehensive approach is necessary, encompassing pre-emptive (early prevention), preventive (ongoing prevention), and repressive (law enforcement with rehabilitation) efforts. This approach involves families, schools, communities, and law enforcement agencies, with an emphasis on restorative justice for children in conflict with the law.

Abstract

The principle of the social function of land rights is a fundamental concept in Indonesian agrarian Law, as stipulated in Article 6 of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA). This study aims to analyze the implementation of this principle in judicial decisions, specifically Decision Number 1273/PDT.G/2023/PN TNG, and its implications for the legal status of Land Ownership Certificates (SHM). Using a normative-juridical approach and case study method, this article examines the conflict between individual interests of SHM holders and the broader social interests of the community. It also evaluates the extent of legal protection afforded to landowners amidst rapid urban development. The analysis reveals that the application of the social function principle often encounters practical obstacles, such as low legal awareness and weak enforcement of agrarian norms. The study highlights the need for regulatory reinforcement and improved public legal literacy to ensure social justice in land utilization.

Abstract

Proses kepailitan di Indonesia, yang diatur oleh Undang-Undang No. 37 Tahun 2004, bertujuan untuk memberikan keadilan bagi kreditor melalui pemberesan harta Debitor pailit. Namun, ketiadaan batas waktu yang eksplisit bagi Kurator untuk menyelesaikan proses pemberesan menciptakan ketidakpastian hukum dan risiko kerugian ekonomis yang signifikan bagi kreditor. Penelitian hukum normatif ini menganalisis pertanggungjawaban Kurator, problematika pemberesan yang berlarut-larut, dan urgensi pembatasan waktu sebagai solusi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kekosongan hukum ini melemahkan asas kepastian hukum dan efisiensi, serta berpotensi menyebabkan penurunan nilai aset pailit, membengkaknya biaya kepailitan, dan hilangnya biaya peluang bagi kreditor. Jurnal ini menyimpulkan bahwa pembatasan waktu pemberesan mutlak diperlukan untuk memberikan perlindungan hukum yang efektif bagi kreditor dan meningkatkan akuntabilitas Kurator.

Abstract

This study conducts a juridical analysis of legal uncertainty in the replacement of elected Regional Legislative Council (DPRD) candidates, specifically examining its threat to the essence of the open proportional electoral system in Indonesia. Drawing upon legal certainty theories, this research identifies ambiguities within Article 426 of Law No. 7 of 2017 on General Elections, particularly concerning the "resignation" clause and the potential for misuse under "failure to meet requirements". These legal loopholes grant political parties excessive discretion in candidate replacement. The manifestation of this uncertainty is evident in the 2024 General Election in Central Java, where specific cases of elected DPRD candidates were replaced based on pre-signed resignation letters. This practice, stemming from internal party strategies, led to the subsequent rejection of lawsuits by the State Administrative Court (PTUN) in Semarang, which further legitimized these formalistic interpretations, despite underlying substantive issues. This practice fundamentally undermines voter sovereignty and distorts the core principles of the open proportional system. It effectively negates voters' direct choices, transforming the de jure open system into a de facto party-controlled mechanism. Such inconsistencies erode the legitimacy of political representation and public trust in the electoral process, as highlighted by prior academic criticisms that remain unaddressed in legislative reforms. The study concludes with urgent recommendations for legislative amendments and enhanced regulatory oversight to ensure substantive legal certainty and protect citizens' fundamental political rights.

Abstract

Population administration services constitute an essential part of public services as they are directly related to the fulfillment of citizens’ administrative rights and legal certainty. However, in practice, the provision of such services is often still confronted with maladministration issues. This study aims to analyze the forms of maladministration, their conformity with the principles of public service, as well as the efforts to prevent and address maladministration in population administration services at the Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil) of Semarang City. This research employs an empirical legal method (socio-legal approach) with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Disdukcapil officials, operators of the Digital Population Identity (IKD) application, internship students, and service users, supported by observation and documentation studies. The results indicate that maladministration persists in the form of an inefficient queue system at certain times, the implementation of the IKD application that is not yet inclusive for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, and the placement of human resources lacking adequate competence in strategic service positions. These findings demonstrate that the principles of legal certainty, effectiveness, non-discrimination, professionalism, and accountability as stipulated in Law Number 25 of 2009 on Public Services have not been optimally implemented. This study concludes that improving the quality of population administration services requires not only digital innovation but also the strengthening of human resources, inclusive service delivery, and effective oversight mechanisms to prevent and address maladministration.

Abstract

Bullying di lingkungan sekolah merupakan salah satu bentuk kekerasan terhadap anak yang dapat berdampak negatif terhadap perkembangan fisik, psikologis, dan sosial anak. Anak sebagai subjek hukum memiliki hak untuk memperoleh perlindungan dari segala bentuk kekerasan, termasuk perundungan. Namun, penanganan kasus perundungan belum optimal mengikuti kaidah hukum kebijakan anti perundungan. Oleh karena itu, pendekatan non-litigasi menjadi alternatif yang lebih ramah anak dan berorientasi pada pemulihan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perlindungan hukum terhadap anak korban bullying melalui pendekatan non-litigasi berbasis kebijakan anti perundungan di sekolah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan non-litigasi, seperti mediasi, konseling, dan restorative justice, dapat memberikan perlindungan hukum yang lebih efektif bagi anak korban bullying. Selain itu, implementasi kebijakan anti perundungan di sekolah berperan penting sebagai instrumen pencegahan dan penanganan bullying, meskipun masih menghadapi berbagai kendala dalam pelaksanaannya. Dengan demikian, diperlukan penguatan kebijakan dan komitmen semua pihak untuk mewujudkan lingkungan sekolah yang aman dan ramah anak.

Abstract

Penutupan sepihak pusat kebugaran oleh pelaku usaha menimbulkan persoalan hukum yang serius terhadap perlindungan hak-hak konsumen, khususnya bagi anggota yang telah melakukan pembayaran keanggotaan dalam jangka waktu tertentu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bentuk perlindungan hukum bagi konsumen serta tanggung jawab hukum pelaku usaha terhadap kerugian yang timbul akibat penutupan sepihak pusat kebugaran. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan kasus, yang dianalisis menggunakan bahan hukum primer berupa peraturan perundang-undangan serta bahan hukum sekunder berupa literatur dan hasil penelitian terdahulu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tindakan penutupan sepihak pusat kebugaran berpotensi melanggar ketentuan dalam UUPK, khususnya terkait hak konsumen atas informasi, kenyamanan, dan kompensasi atas kerugian yang dialami. Selain itu, pelaku usaha memiliki kewajiban untuk memberikan ganti rugi kepada konsumen berdasarkan prinsip tanggung jawab mutlak (strict liability) sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 19 UUPK. Namun demikian, implementasi ketentuan tersebut dalam praktik masih menghadapi kendala struktural, terutama ketika pelaku usaha tidak lagi memiliki kemampuan finansial untuk memenuhi kewajiban ganti rugi. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini merekomendasikan revisi UUPK untuk membentuk mekanisme Dana Jaminan Konsumen (Consumer Security Bond) sebagai instrumen preventif yang mewajibkan pelaku usaha menyisihkan sebagian dana keanggotaan ke dalam rekening jaminan guna memastikan tersedianya dana kompensasi apabila terjadi penutupan usaha. Mekanisme ini diharapkan dapat memperkuat efektivitas sistem perlindungan konsumen dan memberikan kepastian hukum bagi masyarakat.
